I'll be there Friday through Saturday around midday. I have too much stuff going on to be gone all weekend.

I know i owe some of you shipping info. RL has been crazy and i haven't had much time to think. I did get my front bumper and new skids on though. I bought a winch and 2nd battery setup but no time to install.

Hope all is well with everyone and if you're headed to Gore PM me and i'll send you my cell # (For those who don't have it.)

I remember hearing about this place years ago when I had my Jeep. I'd take my 4Runner out there, but without any rocker or skid protection, I should probably hold off.

Hey everyone,
Just got a '15 4Runner Limited. Looking to find some mild trails I could explore stock until I get a lift. How often do you guys meet up and what trails do you suggest?

So I made it to the promise land. Hit me up when you get out here and we can go peruse some trails. Been on 2 so far and the views will blow you away!

I suggest Peters Mill Run/Taskers Gap in the GWNF. It's a little over an hour away depending on where you're at in NOVA.

After searching around other sites that's where I'm going to try first. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Hambone11B. I'm thinking of heading to Peter's Mill this Saturday the 22nd. I have a new 4runner too and I'm new to off roading so I don't want to do anything too extreme (yet); it should be a really easy trail for a stock 4runner. Are you or anybody out there interested in a low key 4runner drive?

I've done it twice now alone, and never got stuck. It's pretty mild. I'm away this weekend but another time I'd be game. Just take it slow and start from the north end.

So we've revised to September 5th in to Denver and starting in Moab on the 6th. 9th doing Black Bear Pass and some Telluride.

Let me know if you're still down to meet up while we're out there.

Hey Guys, I am new to the board. Got a 2015 Trail back in June. I took it up to Peter's Mill/Taskers for the first time last weekend. Did Taskers first, which was deserted. Drove to the end of it and the took my dogs on a hike. Turned around and went back to do Peter's Mill which had a few people on it, including a Lexus SUV. My trail had no problems, but I started at the south end. The whole time I pictured your advice saying to start at the north. I kept expecting to fall of a cliff since I was going the wrong way.

The trail was pretty easy, a good intro. My poor truck got all scrapped up on the sides though...

I only suggested starting from the north because I don't know people's experience. If someone has never been off roading, the first section going uphill(from the south), could be overwhelming. I say that only because of a few switchback turns and steep grade could cause some to make mistakes on a stock rig. Like you said though, the real issue for those experienced is the overgrowth on the trail.

In comparison how was Tasker's Gap? I have yet to go.
